Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve grant agreement ADHS15-096693:2, Health Start Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services, Bureau of Women’s & Children’s Health, and Cochise Health & Social Services in the amount of $306,180 for the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.
Background:
The CHSS Maternal Child Health (MCH) Program has received the Health Start grant for the past 20 years and promotes healthy families and pregnancies among county residents. The grant serves women with a risk factor for pregnancy and post partum issues. The purpose is to reduce those risks through a community health worker program where medically trained community members act as a guide and mentor starting with the pregnancy and ending after the first two years of the child’s life.
According to ADHS Maternal and Child Health data, Cochise County has the third highest rate of low birth weight infants in Arizona. As such, both mothers and children are at higher risk for preventable negative health outcomes. According to 2010 Census data there are approximately 3000 families in Cochise County with children under age 5. In 2015-2016 the Health Start Program has served approximately 11% of those families. Even combined with the capacity of four other home visiting programs in Cochise County (ESBF CPAT, CFR Healthy Families, CPC Early Head Start and FH New Parent Support), we cannot reach even half of the families who need these services.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
